rolling regional thug thread 2012

guessing the busiest is probably the music board at kanyetothe.com. then maybe rapmusic.com's battle rap board & ughh.com's hip hop board.

ughh.com

Stay far far away imo.

protect j0rdan s4rgent

i really don't believe kanye to the forum is any more of a rap board than, like, ILM

i used to glance at the ahh.com and sohh.com forums now and again but i have no idea if they're as busy as they used to be

kanyetothe have a 3717 page thread on the Kendrick album

lol

here is the board http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?board=3.0

i think twitter helped decimate a lot of those message boards

i have to stop looking at the kanye board, i could c&p hilarious shit from there all day

that place is truly incredible

they had, like, a 30+ page thread on the kendrick/drake SONG two weeks before the album even leaked

lengthy argument about whether t.i. "stole" kanye's idea of releasing single artwork before releasing the song itself

hahaha

and they're all so positive!

Except for when they're discussing Lex, that is:
http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/index.php?topic=144714.252

Sums up perfectly @lex M@cpherson's game; nigga's trollin' for controversy and page views.

Anyone know where this dudes kids go to school? He needs to know how it feels to have one of his kids robbed like I do right now.

what a weird obsession with metacritic scores

It's a very weird board. But yeah, that's weird even for very weird boards.

well, if any music board was going to have an "ARMOND RUINED THE ROTTEN TOMATOES SCORE!!!!" equivalent it would be a kanye board

blow the **** up outta his twitter. ****ing ****, take care didn't deserve a 1/5 and mbdtf damn sure didn't deserve a 2/5. he hates niggas it's that simple. @lex m@cpherson is a racist.

oh is that the thread where they were arguing over whether i was white or a "chink"

i was confused, it was like...my byline picture is right there and not blurry or anything?

i prefer the ATRL kidz obv

Guardian writer @lex M@cPherson interviewed Her today. He really gets the Lord & Her music so I can not WAIT for that to be published. On ilxor he wrote that She said he was "so legit". We're gonna get smart and interesting questions.

Thanks guys

waheeey 'kobe' sounds awesome. so so hyped for the keef album.

Did I mention that I think the Keef album will be the Flockaveli of 2012? Cause it will. It might even outsell it by quite a bit.

"on ilxor" !?

i kinda have no idea why people have any serious commercial expectations for Chief Keef, other than some bullshit cyclical theories about gangsta rap getting big again

he's not gonna move Macklemore numbers

i reckon some of his new songs could get radio play. idk about selling albums

When Drake tweets that he has listened to Love Sosa 130 times in 3 days, buzz is definitely building.
Plus there will be at least one more big single, possibly two. It will sell.

When Drake tweets that he has listened to Love Sosa 130 times in 3 days, buzz is definitely building.

i mean, i definitely think deej is influential but lets not overstate things

lol

by most definitions of "big single" he hasn't actually had a big single yet, at least not in the sense where Waka is the bar he's being held up to

Just give Love Sosa a couple of weeks. It's a hit.

dying @ some of his recent instagrams

the cigarette ... the bathrobe ...

too much

longneck i heard drake tweeted something about this song, can you give me the deets!?

Anytime.

I really hope the Keef album is this year's Flockaveli. And I mean almost 2 million views for "Love Sosa" video on YouTube in 5 days? That's buzz.

I mean, when my good friend, who likes basically Kanye/Drake/Big Sean/Tyga/etc latches onto this song and then comes to ME and is like "Have you heard of this Chief Keef guy?" that's a pretty good barometer for me of something special happening.

also i think i like "love sosa" more than "i don't like"

me 2 but i feel like that might be kanye's fault

i feel like it's always kanye's fault

that said i cant abide this 'the next flockaveli' talk b/c there's something abt waka's limitations granting him a weird kind of consistency b/c it was so easy for him to fill his lane & low expectations, he didn't have a 3 mill. deal or anything like that. but also just musically

aka it remains to be seen if keef can translate irl buzz to actual $$$ i wd think

i would bet keef makes a more flawed record tbh, but that the highs might strike a lil more ... deeply? on keef's. i mean think about it, there's something to the fact that waka could talk about some real shit & a lot of folks would basically reduce it to "hes like hip hop punk rock"-type shit, i'm not sure folks ever real gave waka much credit so there wasn't the same bond ... keef is like waka meets meek mill or something

anyway i'm just cautious in general about these kind of 'its the new [x]' type statements in general

Oh, I only call it that because I think it will be an uncomprimising album by an artist representing something new, yielding a great batch of singles, and an album that will gain a large following and sell a good deal but will also turn out to be divisive, with all the real-hiphop people complaining a lot about the artist's lack of talent, yet it will be seen as a milestone for years to come by people who care about such things. Nothing deeper than that.

I am expecting at least three or four boring songs though.
